Back in ancient times - the Windows 98SE era - I had a little utility
that sat on my Word toolbar, next to the regular font drop-down list.
When I clicked on the down arrow for this tool, it displayed a list of
my fonts each in its own typeface - very convenient. Gang, that was
several pooters and operating system ago, and I'e lost track of
things. Does anybody know what this little utility is called, and
where I might find it in a version compatible with Windows XP and
Woord 200n? I'd appreciate it muchly!

I thought so, too, since I seem to remember turning it off.
